At long last, the NBA Finals are here, and it's the series everyone predicted — Cavaliers vs. Warriors.

No two teams have ever met three years in a row in the Finals, adding an historic element to this already compelling series.

In 2015, the Warriors beat a short-handed Cavs squad in six games. Last year, the Warriors had the Cavs against the ropes before Cleveland won three straight to win the championship.

This year, nobody is quite sure what to expect. The Warriors are deeper and more talented, now boasting Kevin Durant in their Big Four. The Cavs, however, have the best player in the world in LeBron James, a trusty sidekick in Kyrie Irving, and a bevy of shooters and defenders to throw at Golden State.

If this year is anything like last year, we could be in for a classic. Here's who the experts are picking to win.
